University of Maryland Research Log Project Part 2 - Week 2

This assignment is a detailed response to the Research Log Project Part 2 for a course at the University of Maryland University College. The project guides the student through the research process, starting with a review of their research question and key concepts from Part 1. It then progresses through a structured search process using OneSearch and a subject-specific database, requiring the student to refine their search strategies and identify relevant keywords. The core of the assignment involves selecting and evaluating a scholarly article, providing citation information, determining the article type, and assessing its authority, reliability, coverage, and currency. The student explains the article's relevancy to their research question, demonstrating an understanding of how to connect research findings to their broader academic goals. The assignment emphasizes critical thinking, effective search techniques, and the ability to analyze and evaluate scholarly sources.

Note: This project has not yet been saved.
Instructions: Work through each step of this log, answering each question as the directions
indicate. Step 1 is not graded. Steps 2 through 5 will each receive a grade, and the sum of these
grades will constitute your total grade for Research Log Project Part 2. Refer to the section on
how each step of the log will be graded for detailed grading information.
Step 1: Thinking Back to Research Log Project Part 1
A. Research Question
Record your research question from Research Project Log Part 1. Click on My Submissions in
Week 1 Content to review your submitted work and instructor feedback. (Step 1)
B.Key Concepts
Record your key concepts from Log Part 1. (Step 2)
C. Original Boolean Search Statement
Record your original search statement from Research Log Project Part 1. (Step 3)
How will Step 1 be graded?
Step 1 will not receive a grade.
How can mindfulness help children w ith
disabilities?
Mindfulness, Children, Disabilities
(mindfulness OR children OR disab**) AND

Access OneSearch from the Library main page.
A. Begin Your Search
Use your Original Boolean Search Statement or a revised search statement based on instructor
feedback in OneSearch. Your search results may open in a new tab in your browser.
List the search statement you entered into OneSearch:
B. Review Search Results
How many results did your search retrieve in OneSearch?
Identify and list two or more additional keywords that you may use to search further on this topic
by reviewing article titles, article abstracts, subject headings, and the articles themselves.
Hint: Refer to Week 2 for a review of databases, including subject headings in databases.
C. Refine Your Search
Refine your search using at least two additional techniques. For example, narrow your search by
date, add additional keywords to your search, use advanced searching techniques, or limit your
search to scholarly articles.
List your final search statement. What additional techniques did you use to refine your search in
OneSearch?
Effect of mindfulness on disbled children
total w ere displayed and in the first page 10 results w ere displayed
mindfulnes-based therapy, mental ability of differently abled.

How did your second set of search results differ from your first results?
How will Step 2 be graded?
(8–10 points): Lists alternative relevant keywords and refines search using at least two additional
search techniques improving search results.
(5–7 points): Identifies alternative keywords from review of search results and refines search
using appropriate techniques.
(0–4 points): Does not list alternative relevant keywords or the search is not refined to improve
search results.
Step 3: Using a Research Guide to Search A Database
A. Identify a Research Guide
Select a Library Research Guide to explore your topic further.
Example: Guide to Economics and Finance
Hint: Refer to Week 2 for a review of research guides.
B. Search a Database
OneSearch is cross-search tool that searches many different databases. For this step, you will
pick a subject-specific database appropriate for your topic from the research guide you selected.
You can use the same search terms you used in Step 2 or try another search strategy but you
must use a database other than OneSearch.
What is the name of the database you searched?
How can being mentally alert help disabled children
g from the year 2020. 5176 reults w ere obtained in the second case.
Health and medical sciences

Example: PubMed
C. Search Statement
Enter the search statement you used to successfully search the database.
How will Step 3 be graded?
(8–10 points): The selected database is from an appropriate research guide. The search
statement incorporates advanced searching techniques that reflects a refined strategy and
produces effective results in the selected database.
(5–7 points): The selected database is from an appropriate research guide. The search statement
is improved and produces adequate results in the selected database.
(0–4 points): The selected database is not from an appropriate research guide or is not relevant
for the topic; the search statement is not improved or did not work in the selected database.
Step 4: Select a Relevant Article
A. Citation Information
From the search results you retrieved in Step 3, select a full-text, in-depth article that is relevant
to your research question. The article should not just be a brief overview of the topic but rather
should address the key concepts of your research question and be as in-depth as possible,
preferably written by an expert or credentialed author(s) in the field. Record the citation
information in the spaces below.
Hint: Do NOT select newspaper or popular magazine articles, encyclopedia entries, or very brief
journal articles (including editorials or letters to the editor), that would be useful only for
background research. The article must be an in-depth article on your topic and more than one or
two pages long. Articles from scholarly or trade journals are acceptable.

Step 5: Article Evaluation
A. Evaluate the Article Content
Using the general evaluation criteria described in Week 3, explain in the boxes below how the
article you selected meets each of the criteria (authority, reliability, coverage, and currency).
